History of the Peterborough United v Blackpool fixture

Peterborough prepare to entertain Blackpool at London Road Ground on Monday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 10 wins out of 15 previous matches.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at London Road Ground was less than a year ago, in November 2003, with Blackpool inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Posh in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 6.

The away form of Blackpool is pretty dire, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Seasiders have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Peterborough's 7 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Blackpool find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 5 games have yielded only 1 points.
